For the past few months the buzz in Boston has been over Summer Shack, Jasper White’s new restaurant which opened in Cambridge last month. The idea is a marriage of seaside camp and high standards, which it mostly manages...

. On the cheaper end, Parasols’s, Joey K’s or Domilese’s. A great wine and cheese night (for a low price) can be spent at Sip or St. James Cheese Company. I lived in DC for a year...I am missing all of those exotic...

Hi! Stayed at the Hotel Provincial on Chartres last July. Going back for more next week! Great hotel, in a quiet part of the Quarter. I think we paid about 90$ a night. Lovely room, pool and plenty of money left over for...

Will anyone be having a cookout this summer?

I’m thinking of having omelets for dinner tonight. Minimal cooking means a cooler apartment, and it’ll allow me to take advantage of some of the summer's bounty. What do you all like to put in your omelets?

I’d like to make an English summer pudding for a barbecue tomorrow night. However, I won’t be able to start it tonight, so it won’t be able to set up overnight. If I have it assembled by 2 or so, will it be...

I was there last night too and was surprised at the prix fixe, although the bartender said they usually have it in the summer. It looked fun and a good deal. We didn’t order it but we did get the chocolate stout cake which...
